Centuries of experience have taught the great breeders of Japan that the right combination of nutritious food, water quality and good bloodlines is the key to producing the magnificent koi all enthusiasts dream of collecting. Koi need a finely tuned diet for health and beauty.
Just as you are what you eat, your fish are what you feed them!
For more than 30 years, Mano Minoru of Dainichi Yorijo has been perfecting the food he feeds his fish. Now, in partnership with Toyoma Koi, Dainichi has made his koi food recipe available to koi collectors worldwide. Made to his exacting specifications, this is the same food that has enabled Dainichi to produce more grand champions than all other breeders in the world. We are confident that Dainichi Koi Food is the best you can feed your fish, and we'd like to tell you why...
To begin with, we only use the finest all-natural human grade ingredients in our food. There are no harmful chemicals or fillers that may cause negative side effects such as kidney disease or cancer. Because fish have no stomachs, the high protein ingredients in Dainichi Koi Food are meticulously refined to ensure easy digestion and maximum absorption. (When fish more completely digest their food, there is less solid and dissolved waste in the water-an added benefit!) Many hobbyists also notice that when they feed their fish Dainichi, their fish tend to eat less while putting on more bulk muscle. We attribute this to the high percentage of fresh white fish meal in our recipe. Koi are genetically predisposed to eating fish meal. Although, there are many cheaper ways to raise the protein content, we use fish meal because Koi more naturally assimilate this to type of protein.
However, the most exciting feature of Dainichi Koi Food is the revolutionary process we use to encapsulate the food with a unique vitamin and mineral coating. In traditional food preparation, the ingredients are extruded into pellets. at extremely high temperatures that decrease and often destroy their nutritional value. Dainichi Koi Food is coated after the cooking phase so that ingredients deeply penetrate the pellets without being exposed to heat, thereby preserving the potency of key nutrients and heat sensitive ingredients. Why is this so important? Fish nutritionists have proven that the Koi's immune system lacks long term memory. We believe in preventive maintenance. Our special vitamin and mineral formula supplements the food to boost your fish's immune system response, so that your Koi can fight off bacterial and viral infections, repair surface damage, and increase luster and sheen
Our process may take twice as long., but it guarantees that your fish receive all the necessary natural vitamins and minerals they require--and more. Is this necessary? We think so. Years of experience have taught us that only through a finely tuned diet can the health, beauty, and longevity of your fish be optimized. Dainichi Fish Food focuses on freshness and quality. We are committed to the health of your fish. Unlike most competitors, we are not just fish food manufacturers. --We are Koi lovers too!!
